Plot

The gang have nearly arrived to Mauville City, but they see a poster, advertising the "House of Tricks". The winner gets 1 year supply of Pokeblocks. Team Rocket is interested in getting the prize, even the Jigglypuff with the marker. Ash wonders what the competition looks like, but Max is being knocked out by a Whismur. A young trainer appears, scolding Whismur for going away.

The gang introduces themselves and the girl is Alanna. The woman explaines that the host, the King of Tricks will explain everything. The King appears, showing the House of Tricks.

Ash, May and Alanna have split, going to dead ends. Whismur and Alanna split, but Whismur has been caught by James and Meowth. Alanna tries to find it, with Ash and May helping her.

When they wake up, May and Alanna laught at one another, but Ash explaines the deal with Jigglypuff.

James and Meowth reunite with Jessie. They have Whismur, but they need to get to Pokeblocks. Ash, May and Alanna reuite with Brock and Max as well. They think Whismur got out so they are going to see at the exit. Max determines that there must be trap doors, so he finds one. The gang have got out of the maze and the King of Tricks is impressed. Team Rocket have got out as well, and while they go, Alanna sees her Whismur found. Alanna thanks them.

When Team Rocket awake, they are sad they lost the gang. The next challenge is to pass the stream.
